Delve into one of the most debated naval decisions of World War II. At the pivotal Battle of the Philippine Sea, Admiral Raymond Spruance made a controversial choice that continues to divide historians: he allowed the retreating Japanese fleet to escape into the night. Was this a catastrophic missed opportunity to annihilate the enemy, or a stroke of strategic genius that saved the entire Pacific campaign?
This documentary explores the immense pressure on Admiral Spruance, weighing Admiral Nimitz's explicit orders to secure Saipan, Tinian, and Guam against the tantalizing prospect of a decisive sea battle. We analyze the complex intelligence picture, from Huff-Duff intercepts to the suspicion of Japanese deception, and uncover the terrifying threat of Japan's advanced oxygen-fueled torpedoes, which were devastatingly effective in night engagements.
